I really don't know, but you could try Dr. Spivak. I don't know if he would do it or not. When I was considering being banded by Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, he told me that Dr. Spivak wanted to do fills for his patients, but that Spivak's hospital wouldn't let him. You could call to see if this is still the case. I heard a rumor that he was now able to do them.

I called both his offices this morning and NEITHER are doing fills for other doctors-bummer.He is only doing fills for his existing patients so I gather that some of you were the lucky ones who had already gotten your foot in the door before he got to busy.Oh well.Im gonna do some cold calling today and see I what I can find more locally.I will post if I find some Houston doctors.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
